In Europe, yes, but they are targeted because they are busy areas. They're happy to draw the 'west' in. They see it as an opportunity to recruit. But...
The history of the movement suggests the main war is with other Muslims and their activity in the middle east shows this. Remember, their aim is to establish a caliphate. I don't have the time or patience to explain- except to say that some in the leadership don't even want the activities in the west to become part of the blueprint. There is also evidence to suggest that some of these attacks are merely splinter groups who the main body have little to do with. But, naturally, they are happy to claim responsibility.
OH, please, please give us all your wisdom.
Might it just be that they are attempting to expand their caliphate and the neighbouring countries happen to be muslim. If the country adjacent were to be a Christian country or Israel, then by this logic, they would leave the Israelis alone.
